Rootkits As Fast As Possible 

god i never realised how much better their audio has gotten

I love how Linus change what he is reading on the monitor across him with a secret button hooked on his belt under his shirt.

"Cyber criminals" Oh you mean Riot games anti-cheat

whos here because of Valorant?

Malwarebytes has a separate root kit scanner now

Im here because of Valorants Vanguard AntiCheat LUL.

TL;DR YOU DON'T WANT A ROOTKIT.

great, now I'm paranoid.

Who's here after people are calling Valorant's anti-cheat a rootkit?

you could also protect yourself by disconnecting from the internet, taking apart your pc and locking every component in a different safe box in different countries.

In theory, there could be build "rootkit" method that could already be implemented to your monitors to send data trough hidden wifi signals or build into custom tailored motherboard or in every single consumer motherboard. And even servers too that would require physically altering the hardware itself that they actually already are doing.

Types of Viruses as fast as possible please

So this is what Riot Vanguard is for Valorant.

starts buffering at "system slow down" =|

So what happens if you work on a virtual machine, can you still get infected with a rootkit on your Base OS?

Ah yes Valorant anti cheat

Get this Valorant out of my pc lol

This channel is awesome. Every time I'm like "I don't even know what rootkits are, but I might as well know everything about them!".

Sony spreading more STDs than Limewire and kazaa😂😂

these things are devastating... Im was disabled at a middling age, contracted Guillain-Barre at 32, and it costed me everything. I was an avid PC gamer then, but wasnt able to stay with it with my quite modest disability income.. a little more than year ago, I had decided to set some funds back little by little and finally build me a decent PC, got a GTX 1080, Ryzen 7 3700X, and a 16GB Team Group Xtreem ARGB 3200kit, and about 6 weeks ago, I finally got the last piece of my build purchased, an ASUS Hero VIII mainboard, I was elated... and as it is right now, I no longer have that PC as it was virtually destroyed by a BIOS/ACPI rootkit and I didnt have the funds to get professional services to get in dealt with, Im not certain, but I believe the rootkit originated from the Hero mainboard as I bought it openbox. and through my network in my apartment, it also infected my Android-based TV box... so now Im basically living in the stone ages after all that saving funds ! Nor could I return or get replaced any of the hardware I had purchased as my Amazon, Newegg and Paypal accounts, along with Facebook, Twitter etc, were hijacked from me and Ive yet been unable to recover them. Im absolutely devastated. All I can say is, as a safety measure... avoid "open box" purchases if you can, these rootkits can take everything from you !

I will never forget the time my sister installed a 'game' that turned out to contain a rootkit. Kind of the best thing that could have happened. I had to install Linux until I could buy a new windows key and never went back! :D

If it does not give the attacker kernel access, it is not a root kit. Your distinction at 1:58 is not a distinction between 2 types of root kits, but the distinction between root kit and not a root kit. Specifically a root kit is a set of software or hardware components that allow you to run arbitrary code as the root user (or in the windows world, as the system user). That necessarily gives you the attacker authority to modify kernel code running on the system. Also i'm disappointed you didn't mention infected USB as part of this video. Focusing on downloads only does the community a disservice.

Delete System32, it's a root kit

I got a particularly nasty rootkit that legitimately destroyed my hard drive to the point that its impossible to boot off of or store data without corruption.

The feeling when Linus says "You guessed it" and you said the correct answer.

Thanks for the information, Linus, now I've enabled Secure Boot and switched to UEFI only from Legacy mode.

Just had the nasty "Windows Process Manager" rootkit, could not get rid of it without reformatting my entire PC and OS. Now I will always trust my anti virus warnings.

Please do more of these. Has Techquickie done over hashes/hash types, or pw cracking softwares?

Whoopp 360p Club.

I had a virus that placed itself onto the MBR, so after removal, every time the pc was restarted, the virus would be back in action! But there was a simple fix which involved the Windows 7 install CD, which replaced that corrupted MBR. I went through pages on multiple forums until I found the solution, so I went back to said forums and spread the GOSPEL! :p

One of the most sinister forms of malware prevalent today is the dreaded DRM. SecuROM OP, plz nerf.

I love how the audio on this channel went echo -> no echo -> echo again over time. lol Probably has to do with the super high ceiling in their new office, I guess.

I have a choice between 144p and 1080p HAHA.

I'm surprised there wasn't a Rootkit (Artist on Monstercat) song in this video, it would of made it perfect.

My Antivirus(Avast) has the option to create a USB Drive that I can boot off so i can check also the Kernel and even BIOS/UEFI.

_Riot Vanguard_

This video reminded me of how much I hate the English language for saying "colonel" as "kernel"

school teachers said I couldnt get into there computers well 5 mins and one rootkit later im on a teachers pc right now

valorant: *i'm going to pretend I didn't see that*

Got a rootkit in Linux ? Delete /usr. it's where they are.

The Echo... Linus! the Echo!

thanks for amplifing that feeling of hopelessness

Would flashing the BIOS with new firmware remove a BIOS rootkit, or would the rootkit prevent that/reinfect the newly flashed?

I'll tell you how to remove RootKits. Backup your very important files and encrypt it. Then scan for Rootkits and throw the old PC and get a new one.

COME ON DOWN TO LITTLE BITS

I love how linus implied Sony were distributing malware 1:45

You may not see cheaters in Valorant one day, in exchange your GPU may be hijacked to mine whatevercoin until it sears itself.

360p yay

I had that music rootkit. Messed up my CD drive. Never recovered.

You guys missed a great opportunity to use a song by Rootkit. Such as Against the Sun or Just Do It.

Im glad I watched this before downloading Valorant

YOUR ANIMATIONS WERE UNBELIEVABLE I DO NOT KNOW HOW DO YOU DESIGN YOUR VIDEO.

it sounds like a really helpful tool for Android

0:50 on UNIX/POSIX files ARE settings, as everything is a file.

@Techquickie Looks like littlebits moved, that's clever thou DIY circuits.

good video, but seriously. little bits is possibly one of the coolest things i have ever seen. I can see future me buying at least a couple kits just to play with and learn a new hobby. How do you get the coolest sponsors?

Tencent btw. China btw

This guy did a great job of explaining Rootkits👍😎

A little things to prevent most attacks witch malware: Use NoScript in your Browser! And if you youally want to stay on the safe site, go with Linux (also good for those who want to test a Rootkit themself (Metasploid seams to work really good))

As soon as I saw this vid, I turned on rootkit scans for Malwarebytes.

I thought this was going to be a video about rooting android phones :P

God the audio quality

No one: Literally No one: Me watching this video after downloading Valorant..

4:02 is that a Hp Compaq nc6320?

TDSSKiller came in helpful a few times when I got infected with rootkits

Anyone know the music producer named Rootkit? That's where I first heard that word

I FUCKING LOVE DENNIS SO MUCH

Recommended after watching someordinadygamer's video about Valorant

Its funny that you uploaded because I was thinking about rooting my htc one m8

internet aids basically

Thanks a lot Linus, this cleared a lot of things for me :)

*Happy Tencent noises*

Wait... Does Linus STILL work for NCIX? I still see him in their videos...

Who’s here cos of Doom Eternal?

Just a quick idea for this old video you guys did a while back the people in lmg that know enough about it should have a contest where four people try to repair a computer that has had a rootkit deployed on it and the person that fixes it the fastest wins The Challenge at the same time you could explain a little bit more in detail about how rootkits are fixed and precautionary steps to take to stop them or to fix them just a idea for some more cool videos

Ping as fast as possible plz !

Most famous rootkit is called Google Play Services and nobody even realises.

Wow, 360p club.

Oh i remember trying out Littlebits! I think I am gonna wish it for Christmas.

Valorant brought me here

I have reformated my hardisk and installed new windows 10, scanned the system with many avs!. But still my system is extremely slow. I even cleaned the pc, changed the themal compound and there is no thermal throttling. My system is core2 duo 2.93ghz, 4 gb ddr3 1333mhz ram, 7200rpm hdd, gt 610 gpu. I have a fresh install on win 10 pro x64. But still it takes more than a 2 min to bootup. I have not installed any software or restored my data. About a week ago when I had dual booted grub broke. After booting with live disk and using 'disk repair' I found some software starting with f(?) had occupied the boot sector. Is it possible I have a firmware malware?

Hello can you guys make me a pc part list: 1. I want the most powerful gaming beast 2.I dont mind about budget it can go up to 50.000$ 3. Plus monitors,gaming set

Holy SHIT. I didn't realize how much better LTT has gotten at clean audio

360p club

why do you keep touching your right hip? are you adjusting volume or teleprompter speed?

Grub: creepy, black, looks complicated Windows dual-boot loader: BLUE, MODERN

I got a rootkit once from a Bellsouth DSL Install CD and since the PC had to be directly on the DSL modem to initialise it the PC got infected almost instantly by malware that was aware of the rootkit.

So some actual useful advice: Do a scan with 'RogueKiller by Tigzy' which can often kill currently running rogue processes and unlock them for removal. Then a full scan using 'MalwareBytes AntiMalware'. If this doesn't work, use 'HiJack This' to create a logfile and post its contents in a question on a tech-help forum and see what other experts advise.

You're the dude who did the fire truck demo!

Rootkit makes the best Drumstep XD

This was a good explanation.

This is new for me. thanks for the advice

1:24 It's still incredible to me that whoever approved that at Sony didn't go to prison. Frankly they should have, IMHO.

They always shop Denis into the weirdest spots lmaoooo

4:03 how much have my friends and the internet tainted me that I thought he was gonna say "Why don't you download some bitches." How, Why.

At 3:45 u r saying it’s preventing the user from downloading multiple OS, u can just a use VM aka a Virtual Machine it’s better and more safer I use a VM to run windows 7 on my iPad Air and it’s pretty fast and I think it’s run better in my iPad than my laptop 👍🏾

Thanks for the info skipper
